Anything other than featureless black box = ugly. Got it.

Anything other than featureless black box = ugly. Got it.

The problem is that they have shown more and then threw it out without accounting for the price. There are also, apparently, issues with Reforged that make it currently inferior to the original (netcode, bugs in the campaign, in some regions a new barebones translation) while forcing you to have the thing in some… Read more

Normally I would agree, but considering they advertised it as being more than just a graphical upgrade, showed off stuff that was more than a graphical upgrade, and then didn't actually deliver on that stuff, I think criticism is warranted here. 

200 more Pokemon being added in a $30 expansion pass.

They took them out, to resell them to us.

What a time to be alive.

You can’t believe it because you’re privileged enough not to have to deal with the actual issues that the people who are made to wear these sorts of uniforms in real life have to deal with, and you’re also not empathetic enough to understand the perspective of another fellow human being, and how such a thing might… Read more

No, a bunch of Gen 1 Pokemon are completely missing from the code of these games. Weedle, Pidgey, Rattata, Spearow, Ekans, Sandshrew, Nidoran, Jigglypuff, Zubat, Paras, Venonat, Psyduck, Mankey, Poliwag, Abra, Bellsprout, Tentacool, Geodude, Slowpoke, Magnemite, Doduo, Seel, Grimer, Drowzee, Seel, Voltorb, Exeggcute,… Read more

They all are. I mean Opera clearly looks like a Vagina.

I mean look at this! It’s obscene!

“OMG new logo is NSFW”. Would get more clicks than “Microsoft unveils new logo”. Read more

Except none of this is racist, you idiot. It is more “the more you accuse people of being racist for nonracist things, the more tired they get of your bullshit and disregard you when you point out something that is actually racist”. Read more

The more people try to find racism where it doesn’t exist, the bigger the chance is that actual valid points drown in this vortex of malplaced feelings of being offended.

While Livanart is dressed as a black character with black skin, she hasn’t applied make-up or paint; her transformation into Pyke is achieved through the wearing of a prosthetic suit. Critics see this as a loophole, and that the same intent as blackface—to alter your skin colour to match that of a black person, a… Read more

“everyone should be free to cosplay as whoever they want, regardless of the colour of their skin (even if this is a distortion of that call’s original intent, which was to encourage people of colour to cosplay as white characters” Read more

She’s treating it as a costume, to look like a fictional character she likes as accurate as possible, not to mock people of a race or do a goddamn minstrel show, this is all so incredibly dumb...

This thread is certainly bringing out the “I can’t believe someone typed that”

First of all it’s been found that they’re reusing a lot of animations from previous games, so that argument goes out the window. The balancing argument isn’t very good either because the game hasn’t been balanced for a very long time, if ever. What else is there? Read more

Why are you telling me to chill? Where did it look like I was mad? I was merely pointing out how it’s stupid to just write off everyone’s complaints and criticisms because some people care about them TOO much; that doesn’t mean that they don’t make some sense. Read more

I'm sorry but that’s just a dumb argument, the existence of those issues don't mean that people can't be passionate about other things that they care about. And again, there's the handwaving, even though there are valid arguments to go with a lot of the criticism, all anyone else does instead of discussing it is say… Read more

Not unrealistic. 800 of them are already coded and animated. During the development of XY they specifically used higher fidelity models for pokemon because they expected to be using them for 10 years or more. The work was mostly done before these games were even announced. The only new work is the new pokemon.
